A new huge number of new cases of Coronavirus was confirmed on October 5, 2021 by the authorities in our country, the pandemic situation being an extremely serious one, unfortunately, as we have been seeing for several weeks now, unfortunately.
In hospitals, the pandemic situation is so serious that patients are kept in the hallways in certain medical units, and Raed Arafat also announced a suspension of certain surgeries and hospitalizations for 30 days, while the number of new cases continues to increase.
The vaccination campaign is still going in an apparently good direction, and this is because more and more immunizations are registered every day throughout the country, but most of them remain with the third dose, not the first, which represents a serious problem.
"Until today, October 5, 1.289.156 cases of infection with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) have been registered on the territory of Romania, of which 2.578 are of re-infected patients, tested positive more than 180 days after the first infection.

*Regarding the "new cases not allocated by county", we specify that their number is determined by the changes made to the electronic platform through which the test results for the new coronavirus are reported and centralized. Thus, according to the new methodology, the test centers directly enter the results of the tests carried out, following which the epidemiological investigation is carried out at the level of the Public Health Directorates and the positive cases are assigned to the county/locality to which the infected persons belong.
**As for cases from abroad, these are cases of citizens who came to Romania having been infected in other countries. These cases were included in the total of new cases not allocated by county.
The coefficient of cumulative infections per 14 days, reported per 1.000 inhabitants, is calculated by the Directorates of Public Health, at the level of the Municipality of Bucharest and the counties. Below you have the graph made based on the reports received by the CNCCI from the Public Health Directorates:
